Birds & Blooms’ Friday Fun Photo for November 16, 2012: Blue Jay & Peanuts by Sherry Sigler of Bristol, Maine.
Sherry writes, “I love taking pictures from my big window, and this one of a blue jay is my favorite. I see so many different birds. As soon as I put peanuts out, they come flying in to get them. And when they want more, they come to the magnolia tree by my deck and wait.”
There’s no question why this is Sherry’s favorite photo: the subject is crisp, and the photo combines gorgeous color with engaging action. Plus, it makes us want to think up a clever caption for it. So let’s celebrate Friday—bring on the funny captions!
